SPC Lubbock Center

South Plains College's newest location, the SPC Lubbock Center is designed to expand
access to a college education for the residents of the City of Lubbock and the surrounding
area. The programs of the Lubbock Center had their beginnings at the Byron Martin
Advanced Technology Center in Lubbock. For 20 years, SPC, the Lubbock Independent
School District and a number of community partners worked together at the ATC to deliver
cooperative technical education programs to support the development of a skilled technical
workforce for Lubbock and the South Plains region. The success of this endeavor and
the need to expand and align career and technical education programs on both the secondary
and post-secondary levels led to the establishment of the new SPC Lubbock Center.

Located at 3907 Ave. Q, the South Plains College Lubbock Center offers college-level
career and technical education programs and courses that focus on business, office
administration, computer technology, machinist trades, automotive technology, welding
technology, and industrial manufacturing/emerging technologies. A new culinary arts
program is being developed for the center and will open in 2018. Additionally, students
have access to a variety of academic transfer courses that support the technical degree
programs offered at the center.

Through an extensive continuing education and workforce development program, the Lubbock
Center also serves the training needs of non-traditional students and workers who
need to upgrade job skills or retrain for new jobs. Some of these programs include
specialized training in the construction trades, health occupations, and computer
technologies. The facility enables South Plains College to collaborate with its business
partners to provide rapid response training to attract new business and industry and
customized job training to support and retain existing businesses.

A comprehensive array of student services is offered to support the educational program
and the success of students, including admissions, financial aid, advising and testing,
tutoring and student business services. An information media center gives students
access to the extensive library services provided to all SPC students at all campus
locations. Students also have high speed WiFi access throughout the entire building.

The Lubbock Center houses more than 77,000 square feet of instructional space and
features eight high-tech computer classrooms with Internet access and 10 instructional
classrooms with multimedia capabilities. Additionally, the facility houses a millwork
lab, metals lab, welding lab, automotive technology lab and construction trades lab
that also functions as a rapid response training lab. A future culinary arts lab will
be the centerpiece of that program. State-of-the-art equipment in all instructional
areas provides students with "high-tech, high-touch" instruction and hands-on application
of skills.

The ability of South Plains College to expand its educational footprint in Lubbock
has been made possible through generous financial support provided by the Helen Jones
Foundation, The CH Foundation, the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance, the J.T. and Margaret Talkington
Charitable Foundation, United Supermarkets and City Bank Lubbock. These partners join
South Plains College in expanding higher education opportunities for local citizens
that will lead to greater economic viability and diversity for the region.

Many individuals who need certain college classes to advance in their jobs, now find
these college classes at the SPC Lubbock Center.
